One liner are always the best jokes. But it is difficult to find some good ones. A good one liner says a lot in few words and that is the best. They are short, sweet and witty, which makes them more fun. But making one liners is not easy. Though it may look easy because of the short length, but that is the hardest part. One needs to have a sharp, fun loving and super creative mind for that. Artist, Alyssa Duhe's illustration shows that she has all of these qualities.

"A Daily Pickup Line", that is what she named her collection of illustrations with catchy pickup lines. According to her website, "Alyssa Duhe is a graphic designer, a non stop doodler who believes in the power of smile. She has a knack of witty copywriting and a fondness for silly pickup lines. Her passions are triathlon, painting and zine making."

London-based artist Mister Peebles creates whimsical greeting cards and prints from watercolor pencil drawings, featuring animals dressed in human clothing or just sporting their real selves.

Mister Peebles first begins with sketching the animals and then fills them with watercolor pencils and ink until he achieves the right form.

The most unusual thing about Mister Peebles greeting cards and print is that these animal illustrations are paired with clever one liners that take a light-hearted approach to his work. "He hopes to make you smile and cheer your day a little. The average person chuckles less than 20 times a day, Mister Peebles hopes to up this average a wee bit," he shares on his website.

First time when I saw these Batman Valentines on Chicago-based cartoonist Mark Anderson's website I was awestruck and stood staring at them for hours not because of the fact that I'm a Batman fan but I never expected something like this coming from Batman or his side-kick Robin.

These 1966 Doubl Glo Batman Valentines were on sale on eBay and Anderson bought them instantly without wasting anytime and published them online for all Batman fans.

These old-school illustrations are filled with color and cheesy pickup lines like "You make my heart go va-room on Valentine's Day!".

We human these days are technology and social media addicts. We can't do away with any one of them for even a minute, especially when it comes to smartphones.

If we can take out some time and not constantly keep on checking our phones, we can actually have a great social life and have real friends for instance. Anyways, I'm not here to do hard talks here. In fact, I got something that  closely reflects our modern life and things related to it.

Hailing from the hub of Italian high fashion and culture, Santos has an innate perception of his art. Santos explains “Imagine if one day capitalism reaches the point, where the big brands start to sponsor the superheroes.How would this influence their images? Based on this hypothesis, I decided to experiment with some characters, and see what would be the results of such idea.”

When I first saw Ryan McArthur's 'Retro and Zombie posters', I couldn't help but share them on our blog and this time again I'm sharing another series of posters by Ryan.

Ryan, this time has come up with a series of original prints which are based on quotations from great authors and philosophers of the past.

"I've always found comfort in little witty one liners because most tap into one commonality that we all share… human nature. I really wanted to find quotations and snippets from my favorite books that not only provided a great visual to play off of, but that speak to life in general. I illustrate them all by hand using pen and ink and then digitally render them." shares Ryan about this series.

The Gen Y is an archetypal techno slave. But instead of acknowledging the depravity of the situation , we use a more savvy term for this - being socially committed or rather technologically updated! Well that has a negative tone no doubt because over- riding your limits with anything is so not good.

In some sense these terms do paraphrase the addiction we all have but does not talk of how all of us have imbibed technology into our social etiquette, most prominently in our postures.
